What is Wellness?

Wellness is a holistic approach that recognizes that we’re more than just physical bodies. We’re also minds, spirits, and family and community members. Health is about wholeness—taking into account the full range of our human experience. The Center for Wellness attends to body, mind, and spirit, helping patients connect with things that really matter to them.

Wellness Consultations

During this 60-minute appointment with a physician or advanced practice provider, we will explore your personal and family health history, clarify your health goals and create a personalized lifestyle plan you can implement and sustain. We will use evidence-based treatment options, personal support and self-care practices to optimize your health.

Health Coaching

UW Health Wellness offers a goal-oriented approach to health coaching and life coaching, empowering you to identify and make positive changes in all areas of your life and benefit you physical health, emotional health and mental health.

Group Medical Visits

Group visits are an exciting new approach to care. The visits are highly participatory and interactive. Participants learn from each other while also learning about the key ingredients needed to lead a healthy life. We explore self-management skills for lifestyle and behavioral changes, as they relate to specific medical problems, including:
